April 9th, 2021. 26th Day of isolation.

Only one talking point today. The death of our beloved Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinborough. My tribute is some of his”gaffes” which were, I think, deliberate and funny. He enjoyed having fun and this was one way he coped with the hard work which he clearly undertook in support of our Queen:-

“Do you still throw spears at each other” to a group of indigenous Australians.

“If you stay here much longer you will get slitty eyes” to a group of British exchange students in Xian, China.

“British women can’t cook”

“You can’t have been here that long. You haven’t got a pot belly”. To a British tourist in Budapest.

“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass a driving test”. To a Scottish Driving instructor.

“It looks like it was put in by an Indian”. Referring to an old fashioned fuse box in a factory near Edinburgh.

There are more and I have ordered a book called “The Wisdom of Prince Philip” by Antony A. Butt.

RIP Philip.
